Besides, we're gonna be getting some sweet SWEET assets back in the upcoming Roberto trade!

Forget the trade...it's over, never happen get out of your glee leaf fantasy and get on with reality...Luo is a locker room cancer

Buy him out and go with Cory, the once and future king...of the net!

It's a new era, time to move on...

Regarding that...Florida is offering seasons tickets for $7@ a free jersey and a handjob by the ice girls...wadda we get? sweet buttfuck all... so far so good in sticking to my decision to boycott the NHL

I'm really not worried about cap hits this year, I'd rather keep the depth that Booth, Ballard and Luongo bring. I can't see Booth or Luongo being buyout candidates anyway, both are good players and have value so you could get something in trade at least.

Ballard I think will be on the team and given this year - if he sucks this year again then they will likely buy him out. They still have the option to buy out next summer so why get rid of him now?

Gomez I'm not sure about, he was garbage for the Habs but really had his confidence shot. At a reasonable cap hit and as a 3rd line center he's better than what the Nucks have now though, so can't hurt.

I really think he'd be a good addition. Gomez is from Alaska and he played for the Surrey Eagles, so he's familiar with the area and could do worse than spend a shortened season with a cup contender that has a big hole on the second line.

Yeah, plus 5 teams in the west have already 'expressed preliminary interest' in Gomez, I bet Vancouver is one of them with Kesler's major injury and unknown time table of his return.

That's highly improbable.

While I would like to see the Canucks add Gomez, he's probably never going to be a top-six forward again. It's about finding a useful role to pro-long his career, such as being a two-way third line centre.

And even that is no guarantee considering how shitty he was last year. I think absolute best case is a solid third line C who can contribute 30-35 pts over an 82 game season.

I gotta hand it to the NHL and the PA on this one. To go back and fix a glaring error that would penalize some players and do it so quickly. Wonder how much it had to do with it being NYR as one of the teams? But at any rate good for them working on a fix so that Redden and Gomez have a chance to play. And who knows, we may see a few more before Wednesday.

Philadelphia anyone?

Now that would be a real shocker if they bought out Bryzgalov - would be almost certain to go all in on Lu if they do it. Please Snider, buy out Bryzgalov!
